According to our culture, you’re supposed to fade away quietly and live a smaller and more invisible life now that you’ve reached a certain age. But the problem is that there’s a voice inside of you that says “NO WAY…I’M JUST GETTING STARTED!”

They tell us that menopause is a bunch of physical symptoms we should take a pill for so that we can ‘fix’ what is wrong with us. The sad truth is, that as a culture we’ve become so divorced from our bodies that many of us have bought into that theory.

I believe that for most women, we are called to a Heroine’s Journey sometime in midlife, peri-menopause or menopause. For those of us that answer the call, there are roughly 3 stages:

The Descent into the Underworld (the Unconscious). This is where you start accessing the parts of yourself that you have repressed and denied.

The Initiation. This is where you are faced with challenges where you learn who you truly are and find alignment with your Soul.

The Return. During this stage you return to the world bearing your jewels and gifts. You are invited at this stage to step up and serve others with your wisdom.

You are so ready to say YES to a JUICY mid-life passage!

You and I could be a perfect fit if:

You are tired of living life according to other people’s needs and dreams.

You feel invisible and not heard.

You’re feeling crazy with the ups and downs of peri-menopause.

You wonder how your life got to feel so dry, empty or unsatisfying.

That’s perfect! You’re in the right place. You see by now your Soul has probably started shouting! And the good news is that when you start listening….ahhhh….that’s priceless! That’s where the singing and dancing starts. That’s when you start skipping down the street full of juicy joy and vibrant, sexy life force energy. I am here to tell you YES…it IS possible! Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t!

You’ll make my heart go ring-a-ding-ding if:

You long to recapture the playful, fun part of yourself that is excited about life.

You sense that there is a creative soul inside of you screaming to get out.

You’re ready to stop hiding your light and take on your power.

You’re tired of being a good girl.

You’re ready to break some rules (yee-haw!).

I’ve lived in the desert of dryness…

Hi there, my name is Karen. And I’ve been in your shoes. I did all the things I thought I was supposed to do. I started a career in technology, got married, made lots of money…all good, right? Trouble is, I was miserable. It all felt really dry and well, not me. But somehow it was hard to change direction.

So the Universe took control.And so started my Heroine’s Journey back to myself. The next eight years had many, many challenges including starting and closing two businesses, being sued, getting divorced, having 2 miscarriages, losing my house and declaring bankruptcy. And then I started peri-menopause! Needless to say, I was pissed by that time! But it was during the hormonal rollercoaster that I really awakened to what I had left behind of myself. And it was the emotional swings that had all the clues for me. So finally…I started listening to my Soul’s whisperings. You can read more about my journey here.

There is a new energy emerging on the planet

With the recent Venus Transit in June 2012. which is also being called the Birth of the Solar Feminine. So far in this world, as women we have had 2 choices…one is to act in a more masculine way, denying our feminine gifts of being spirit-guided, intuitive, introspective, emotional….or we could embody the Lunar Feminine archetype, which is very Yin, receptive, nurturing and supportive, but not easily able to have a big impact.

The Solar Feminine integrates Lunar and Solar qualities. She is:

Not afraid to say what she thinks

Not afraid to take up space

Not spending all her energy trying to please everyone or take care of everyone

Getting shit done

Not afraid to shine brightly, and yes, maybe brighter than others

Able to use her anger productively

Magnetic, inspiring and powerful

Playful and vibrant

and mostly…SHE IS ABUNDANCE manifested

And the best news is… If you’re in midlife, and in particular menopause…you’re primed to receive this upgrade in energy – this IS YOUR TIME!!! Now it may come in the form of tantrums, difficult relationships, restlessness, insomnia, hot flashes…but know that this is all part of a most beautiful and miraculous transformation…

This is the new millenium…WE get to make this happen…If not now…when?

I have spent years piecing together the compass for you to mine this precious time for the jewels to your crown. HERE ARE SOME WAYS I CAN SUPPORT YOU ON THAT JOURNEY:
